Description

Wrapping two corners of one of Park Avenue's most distinguished prewar cooperatives, Apartment 10N is a beautifully proportioned classic residence offering grand entertaining spaces and abundant natural light through sweeping exposures — east over Park Avenue, north over St. Ignatius Loyola Church, and west toward Central Park.

These triple exposures deliver exceptional light throughout the day and the rare, coveted unobstructed views virtually impossible to find on Park Avenue.

A gracious marble entrance gallery leads to a series of elegant entertaining rooms, including a corner living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room, and a handsome library. Laid out en filade, the rooms flow seamlessly from one to the next, their generous scale and volume further enhanced by soaring 10'5" ceilings, oversized windows, and classic prewar proportions.

The expansive eat-in kitchen offers abundant storage, a large center island with seating, and a charming banquette dining area. A La Cornue stove and custom hood serves as the centerpiece, while a large window fills the space with bright, cheerful light all day long.

The bedroom wing is anchored by an especially impressive primary suite with north and west-facing windows and glimpses of Central Park. A newly renovated bath features a Drummond’s soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, a beautiful double marble vanity, and radiant heated floors.

There are four secondary bedrooms in total. The two largest, each with a pair of oversized windows and open northern exposure, share a massive marble bath. A fourth large bedroom is now incorporated into the primary suite as an office or dressing room. It may be configured as a separate bedroom suite as shown on the alternate floorplan. A powder room, large staff bedroom and marble bath complete the residential wing.

Built in 1912, 970 Park Avenue is an elegant Georgian Revival-style cooperative clad in red brick, terra cotta, and granite. A treasured Park Avenue landmark, the building offers exceptional white-glove service and amenities, including a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness room, private storage, and pet-friendly policies. Financing of up to 75% is permitted.
